There are three benefits from your knee replacement:

1. Elimination of pain
2. Improved motion
3. Minimum wear and tear

A patient with painful, deformed, and unstable knees secondary to degenerative or inflammatory conditions needs a prosthesis that provides reproducible pain relief and improvement in function.

The surgery involves exposure of the front of the knee, with detachment of part of the quadriceps muscle from the patella. The patella is displaced to one side of the joint allowing exposure of the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. The ends of these bones are then accurately cut to shape using cutting guides oriented to the long axis of the bones. The cartilages and the anterior cruciate ligament are removed; the posterior cruciate ligament may also be removed but the tibial and fibular collateral ligaments are preserved. Metal components are then impacted onto the bone or fixed using polymethylmethacrylate cement.
